Ulster travel to Parc y Scarlets tomorrow (4pm) having won all nine of their Pro12 fixtures this season.

They’ve opened up a six-point gap over second-placed Scarlets, who themselves have only lost twice in the Pro12 during this campaign.

The Scarlets are without a host of internationals for the top-two clash but are buoyed by their shock 13-6 victory over Munster in Cork last weekend.

Scarlets coach Jones said: “They have threats all over the park, so we know we’ll have to be at the top of our game.

“It’s going to be a real challenge for us, one we’re looking forward to and a great game of rugby is in prospect if the conditions allow.

“Ulster have got plenty of quality in their squad, and also the luxury of calling on their internationals, so we know it’s going to be a big test for us and we respect what Ulster have achieved this season.

“While we know we’ve got stern opposition, we’ve concentrated on ourselves this week, making sure we have our own house in order.

“We’ve been working closely with the players to help them improve their reading of the game, encouraging them to take responsibility and show the agility to adapt.”
